🤠 Solana DvP Is Live The Solana Foundation has unveiled Solana DvP — an open settlement standard designed for financial institutions. Built as an open-source, MIT-licensed protocol, it enables atomic transfer of assets and funds, ensuring both sides settle simultaneously. Trades either complete fully or not at all, with finality achieved in seconds, compared to the 1–2 days typical in traditional finance. The protocol supports SPL Tokens and Token-2022, including extensions tailored for regulated asset issuers. Any two parties can use it, with a bank, custodian, or exchange serving as the settlement agent. J.P. Morgan provided advisory input on settlement practices but did not build or endorse the system. Independent audits are finished, and the Foundation confirms it's ready for live capital. Private settlement capabilities are in the pipeline. ✅ Follow @cryp AFRO CRYPTO
